LEANING ON
EVERLASTING ARMS
What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
leaning on the everlasting arms
what a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
leaning on the everlasting arms
Refrain:
Leaning, leaning,
safe and secure from all alarms;
leaning, leaning,
leaning on the everlasting arms
O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
leaning on the everlasting arms
O how bright the path grows from day to day,
leaning on the everlasting arms [Refrain]
What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
leaning on the everlasting arms
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
leaning on the everlasting arms [Refrain]
COME TO JESUS
Come to Jesus,
Come to Jesus,
Come to Jesus just now, just now.
Come to Jesus,
Come to Jesus just now!
Only trust him, ...
He is able, ...
He will save you, ...
STEP BY STEP
Step by step
Walking up
Closer to my goal
By step
I will take my time, for I found peace of mind
I will walk that road, for I’ve got to reach my goal
I will keep the pace, for I’ve got to win the race
And then I will hold on. If I do it that way, I can’t go wrong
It gets a little hard sometimes, but Jesus gives me peace of mind
It gets a little hard sometimes, but Jesus gives me peace of mind
It gets a little rough but I can walk it up
It gets a little rough but I can walk it up
It gets a little rough, it gets a little rough
It gets a little rough but I can walk it up
Step by step
Walking up
Closer to my goal
By step
Church Theme 2023
“Year of Miraculous Outpouring & Majestic Praise”
Exodus 15:6 , 11; Psalm 8:1; Psalm 29:4; Psalm 111:3; 2 Peter 1:17; Psalm 77:4
Matthew 11:20-2; Acts 19:11; Acts 12:28; 1 Corinthians 12:28; Hebrews 2:4
God is doing a new thing and taking us to a new level. He calls us to seek Him and will do miracles in our midst. This year we are praying for miracles in our lives, the lives of our families, and our Church family. As we pray and seek His face, we are going to give God Majestic Praise along the way. The songwriters said: I seek a miracle every day and I want to Praise Him.
MONDAY MORNINGS WITH THE PASTOR
We invite you to join us for Early Morning Prayer with the Pastor

WEDNESDAY NIGHT STUDY: NEW BOOK OF STUDY
Since Wednesday, May 17th, we have started the study of 1 Kings. The study picks up with David making Solomon king to succeed him on the throne. Solomon had mixed results, with his wealth and wisdom being known worldwide. He built palaces and cities, and a beautiful temple.-The house of the Lord did not match. But while on the throne, he also allowed idol worship to creep into the kingdom. And after his death, a civil war tore the nation in two. Successive kings were mainly terrible, and the prophet Elijah had dramatic confrontations with King Ahab, who could forget Jezebel on the scene. Join us Wednesday nights at 7:30 pm.

2. Why do the righteous suffer?
3. How can we help someone who is suffering?
4. What should we do when God is silent?
5. What can we learn from our own suffering?
You are listening to God’s Words and messages for you. Make a few personal notes as you listen. Then, revisit your notes during quiet time spent with the Lord over the coming week. Allow God to crystallize His truths in your life.
